Instincts

Life is full of decisions

Think, reason, process

Decisions, decisions, decisions

Sometimes we must make snap decisions

No time to think

No time to reason

No time to process

Too many variables to consciously consider

One bad decision you could regret for a lifetime

But how could you have known

 

Follow your instincts, instincts, instincts

Decisions can be wrong but instincts can never go wrong

A product of your subconscious mind

Brush them off, shove them aside

You will live to regret

But how could I have known

 

Shall we do this, or shall we do that

Shall we try this or shall we try that

One mistake could cause us regret for a lifetime

And so we must consult

Call all your contacts

Process the facts

Listen to this, listen to that

Follow my advice or follow his advice

Look with your eyes first before other people’s words

 

The sum total of your experiences rounds it all up

Our minds are working even when we are sleeping

Predict the unknown

It happened yesterday, it must happen again

Make a decision

But how did you know

You followed your instincts

 

Instincts can be wrong

Listen to my advice

I told you so

Well, at least it was my decision

Everyone’s situation is different

I trust my instincts

 

But how could you have known

Gut feeling told me so

Follow your heart

You feel guilty

You feel skeptical

What if you were wrong

You know you’re lazy

 

Cover all your bases

It wouldn’t hurt to uncover the stone

What if you were wrong

It’s OK to be wrong

How did you know

A little bird told you

A little voice sung

You followed your instincts

 

You will always know

You made a decision

It was a bad one

But at least it was your own choice

Never question your instincts

Not bad. You have a good concept and this is well-written, but I do think you've over-wrote this somewhat - it seems like you could have gotten this same point across in much less space, and it does feel in some parts like you're repeating yourself.
